I write software for business aviation.

Full-stack at Gogo Business Aviation. Angular and ASP.NET Core over SQL Server and Azure. Right now that's a billing platform and the internal tooling our support teams sit in all day. On my own time it's mostly C++.

01 / About

The short version.

I've been writing software for business aviation since 2023. Mostly internal things: a billing platform for the finance side, and the portals our support people and customers actually use.
It's full-stack in the real sense. I design the SQL Server schemas and stored procedures, write the ASP.NET Core APIs sitting on them, build the Angular that talks to those, and set up the Azure Functions that run everything on a schedule. I get pulled into architecture calls a fair bit. I've also written onboarding docs for a few systems that never had any, which nobody enjoys but somebody has to.
Outside work I mess around with C++. Multithreading, the Windows API, real-time rendering. Different kind of problem, and I like that it's unforgiving about performance. A couple of those are further down.

Where I've worked.

Two companies, though one of them bought the other while I was there.

    Gogo Business Aviation

    I'm building an internal billing platform. Customer management, invoicing, collections, accounts payable, product catalog. Most of that was done by hand before.
    AngularASP.NET CoreC#SQL ServerAzure FunctionsKey VaultApp Insights
    • Designed the SQL Server schemas and stored procedures for invoicing and collections, put ASP.NET Core APIs over them, and built the Angular UI on top.
    • Built the Azure Functions that run the scheduled and event-driven billing jobs. They talk to Container Instances, report into Application Insights, and pull secrets from Key Vault.
    • Shipped Mission Control features for customer and service data, replacing pieces of the old Ops Center tooling.
    • Cut network load in the settings module by 70%. The data fetching and state management were doing a lot of redundant work.
    • Wrote architecture and onboarding docs for systems that didn't have any, which made new hires a lot quicker to get going.

    Angular and .NET work on SD Pro 2.0, the flight operations portal our customers plan around. We kept SD Pro Legacy running the whole time we were building it.

    • Built user settings, mission forecasts, outages and service alerts in the new portal.
    • Worked on Ops Center too, the internal support tool that Mission Control later replaced.
    • Owned the SQL Server schemas and stored procedures behind all of it, including the back end for outage and service-alert ingestion.
    • Two-week sprints with PM, QA and backend, across both customer-facing and internal products.

    IT Support Specialist · Computer Support Technician

    Three years in IT support before I moved into software. I wrote a tool the whole team ended up using to drive Active Directory for new-hire setup, automated the boring parts in Python and PowerShell, built gold images for deployment, and kept the networks, databases and security updates in one piece.

03 / Projects

Things I've built.

Side projects. I pick them based on whether the problem sounds interesting, which is why they don't have much in common.

    Multithreaded entity tracking & render system

    A C++ overlay that reads live state out of a running process and draws it back on screen without slowing either one down.
    C++Windows APIGLMMultithreading
    Problem
    Draw live 3-D game state as a 2-D overlay at high frame rates, while the process producing that data keeps running at its own speed.
    Approach
    Multithreaded, built on Windows events and some custom synchronization primitives. Reading and rendering happen on separate threads and sync up on a signal instead of polling.
    Math
    GLM handles the 3-D to 2-D projection, camera transforms and the vector math the renderer runs on.
    Result
    Tuning the frame pacing, update loop and buffer reuse got the latency down and the output steady.
    Overlay data path The game process publishes state into shared memory. A reader thread picks it up and signals a Windows event. The render thread projects the 3-D positions to 2-D with GLM and presents the overlay on a paced frame loop.

    Data path. The render loop wakes up on new data instead of on a timer.

    Statistical anti-cheat

    A proof of concept that scores suspicious players on a curve instead of tripping a fixed threshold.

    Source on GitHub Read the write-up

    Problem
    Hard cutoffs are brittle. Move the number slightly and you either miss cheaters or ban people who are just good.
    Approach
    Take the mean and standard deviation for each in-game stat, then a Z-score for how far a player sits from everyone else.
    Result
    Those Z-scores go through a tunable curve into one risk score. Sensitivity becomes a dial, and you get a ranked list to review instead of a yes or no.

    Inventory & order management

    Full-stack app for tracking stock down to size and variant, and pushing orders through to shipped.
    AngularNode.jsSQL
    Counts are per variant, not per product, so they stay accurate when one size sells out. There's an order status workflow for watching open shipments and marking packed items as shipped, plus some sales trend charts running off the same data.

    Fantasy football analyzer

    Built it twice. Once on React and Node, then again on Angular because I wanted to know how different they actually are.

    Front end Back end

    You give it a Sleeper username, pick a league, and it values every player and roster in it. The trade analyzer takes a hypothetical deal against another team and tells you whether it's worth taking.
    The rankings table is hand-built. Filter by position, sort by any stat, and every cell is color-coded against what that number means for that position. React, Node, MongoDB and Express the first time, Angular the second.

04 / Tools

Say hi.

Email is easiest. I read everything and I'll reply if there's something to reply to. Happy to talk about full-stack work.
